Accuracy of German Works.

In the production of elaborate works
on natural science for the general sci.
entific reader or student the Germans
are fdcile princeps Beside bearing
evidences of thoroughness and general
accuracy, such works usually present a
hemogeneity and completeness rarely
attained in English ones of similar
class. To vivacity of expression and
the more purely literary embellish-
ments or literary condiments they
rarely make pretensions; and yet he
who has read in the original the writ
ings of such authors as Haeckel will
readily concede that the German style
may be not a whit less charming, less
simple and less interesting than the
French OF English, while at the same
time combining, what is often such a
fatal defect in many French works on
general natdral scientific subjects,
truthfulness. Button made many book
naturalists, but he has much to answer
for in the self-sufficient complacency
and inexactness of many of the French
naturalists who have succeeded him.
1t is a rare talent that can excel in at
tractive literary exposition and yet
command the respect of the critical
scientific naturalist. Science.

INvENTlNG A LANGUAGE.
The Formation of New Tongues by a
Number of Little People.

The Formation of New Tongues by a
Number of Little People.
People who are acquainted with the
charming children who enliven Jean
Ingelow's novels will remember that
two of the little people exercised their
wits in the invention of language,
and that to the great embarrassment of
their tutor. Such. incidents are not
confined to fiction; one well-authenti-
Gated case of the formation of new
language happened in Boston, some
twenty years ago.
Twin boys belonging to a family
there exhibited an intense affection for
each other, and were always together.
At the usual age they began to talk,
but, strange TO say, not in their
mother tongue. They had language
of their own, and no pains could induce
them to speak any thing else. They
persistently refused to utter a syllable
of English. Their mother relates that
although she could not understand
their language, she contrived, by at
tention, to discover what they wished
or meant. Even in that early stage,
the language was complete and full;
that is to say, it was all the children
needed. They were at no loss to ex-
press themselves in their games, and
chatter together all day long. Al
length they were sent to a school,
where they gradually learned English,
as children learn a foreign language
and the memory of their own speech
faded from their minds.
An account of similar phenomenon,
with specimens of the language, ha:
been given by DIR. f. r. Hun, o.
Albany. In this case, the speech wa.
invented by little girl four and hal
years old, with the help of her brother
eighteen months younger than herself
About twenty of the words are speci
fed, most of which are used in similar
receptions, as nlea, meaning both cal
and furs; migQo-migO, water, wash
bath; bau, soldier, music; and so on
Dr. Hun adds: 1.-The little girl use
her language readily and freely, an'
when she is with her brother, they con
verse with great fluency and rapidity.'
Further inquiries have shown tina
such cases of child-language are b,
no means uncommon.-Y Youths Com
